Questions 26-30
Read the following passage
Today we hear more and more about the importance of getting enough sleep. Sleep can give energy to both our
bodies and our brains. It can also affect our feelings, behaviour, and memory.
Studies have shown that people in some countries spend less time sleeping and more time working. But our
bodies cannot work well without enough sleep. Losing just one or two hours of sleep a night, over a long period
of time, can badly affect our health. We cannot work for many hours; we can get angry easily; and we can even
lose our IQ points. That explains why, without enough sleep, an intelligent person may have difficulty doing
daily tasks.
Studies have also shown that the time of year seems to affect how much sleep we need. People usually sleep
longer in the winter, sometimes as much as 14 hours a night. However, in the summer, they sometimes sleep as
little as six hours, without having any problems.
Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage.
Write,
TRUE
if the statement is true
FALSE
if the statement is false
NOT GIVEN if the information is not given in the passage
Question 26. Getting enough sleep primarily impacts our physical health.
Question 27. The text provides data on sleeping patterns specific to various countries.
Question 28. Lack of sleep over time can lead to a decrease in IQ.
Question 29. People experience sleep problems less frequently in winter than in summer.
Question 30. Intelligent people need sleep more than ordinary ones to increase their IQ.
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best
answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40.
Climate change is one of the most urgent challenges facing the world today. [I]As global temperatures rise,
extreme weather events like heatwaves, storms, and flooding become more frequent. [II], leading to food
insecurity, water shortages, and rising sea levels. [III]Developing countries, which are least prepared to handle
these effects, are left high and dry, facing the greatest risks. [IV]
The political implications of climate change are also significant. Countries are divided over how to address
the crisis. Some argue for immediate action to reduce carbon emissions, while others prioritize economic
growth. Disagreements often arise between developed and developing nations. Wealthier countries urge poorer
nations to limit their emissions, while the latter argue that industrialized nations have contributed more to the
crisis historically. This division makes finding a global solution challenging.
Despite these obstacles, there is still hope. International agreements like the Paris Agreement show that
progress is possible, but they must be followed by real action. Nations need to invest in renewable energy,
protect ecosystems, and adopt policies that reduce carbon footprints. Additionally, individuals can contribute
by making environmentally conscious choices in their daily lives.
Ultimately, the future of our planet depends on the choices we make today. Without significant action,
rising temperatures could lead to conflict over resources, mass displacement, and irreversible environmental
damage. Climate change is a global challenge that requires a unified response to ensure a stable and peaceful
future.
